advice on starting over in a new place?

Hey ladies!

I've kind of posted on and off here but life got in the way recently-graduation, getting married, moving to H's post in Germany...

Anyway, since I've only been an Army wife for a month I was wondering if you all had any advice for me (apart from all the great things you've already said!). I'm really happy to be married but his post is really rural and it's been really hard for me to get out or make friends. My car won't get here for anothe 6 weeks so I'm pretty much cooped up in the house all day, and I haven't had many opportunities to meet people. After a month it's starting to get to me being alone and so far from home. A lot of H's coworkers have told him to keep me away from the FRG and Wives' Club since they're notorious for drama and backbiting but I kind of feel like those are my best options as far as meeting people goes...otherwise I'll have to start talking to my houseplants! And surely there have got to be some nice people there, right?

Anyways, advice would be appreciated-are there any resources I'm overlooking here? As I said, I'm brand new to Army spouse-dom and H really has no clue when it comes to the family side of things.

  • I'm fixing to be in this same situation in just a few months. It's exciting and scary all at the same time. My FI and I have been apart for the majority of our entire relationship, only having a few days here and there, so it's going to be a real adjustment, but I'm looking forward to finally being with him on a regular basis. That being said, I'll be thousands of miles out away from my comfort zone, and while I'm not shy, I sometimes have a hard time putting myself out there to make friends...take this board for example. I have lurked for ages lol.
